Chapter 10 - THE NIGHT GABRIEL DISAPPEARED
Gabriel realized the investigation was closing in.
He disappeared from the estate.
His phone stopped responding.
Several bank accounts were emptied.
A private aircraft was chartered under a false name.
Arthur contacted his attorney and the authorities.
The evidence was preserved.
Financial records were reviewed.
Witnesses were interviewed.
And Gabriel became the focus of a major investigation.
But before investigators could locate him, Norah received a message.
STOP ASKING ABOUT HALSTED STREET.
She stared at her phone.
A second message followed.
YOUR FATHER DIDN'T KNOW WHEN TO STOP EITHER.
Norah's hands went cold.
Arthur immediately arranged appropriate protection and encouraged her to stay somewhere safer.
Norah agreed.
She wasn't reckless.
She wanted answers.
Not another tragedy.
That night, Arthur sat alone in his study.
For the first time, he understood how completely Gabriel had used him.

As a weapon.
